Harmony Prevailed There--Virginia Attorney Takes Nomination Under Advisement.

Colored People Thoroughly Aroused Over the Outlook--Expect Many Anti-Machine Democrats' Support.

The Republican State Convention met Saturday at Roanoke, Va. Col. Henry W. Anderson made the keynote speech and ultimately was again nominated for the governorship. He did not accept however, and promised the convention that he would let the body know his decision this week. The race question was not considered and a large delegation of white Republicans and disgruntled Democrats constituted the personnel of the body. It was a difficult task to secure candidates. Hon John Paul. of Harrisonburg. Va. was nominated for Attorney-General, but he declined. It is not known who will take his place. At the previous session of the Republican State Convention, the differences between the white and colored factions seemed to have been patched up, but the renomination of Col. Henry W Anderson. who is known to have an antipathy to the colored brother. will necessarily raise a question, which must be met before the ballots are cast at the polls.
